Guns, Germs, and Steel: Vancouver Area TV Listings
Posted by Tad McIlwraith on July 8th, 2005 filed in Class Discussions, In the News
Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel is coming to TV next week (and for three successive Mondays). In Vancouver it can be seen on Shaw Cable on two PBS channels, at two different times. The series will be shown Mondays, starting July 11, on Channel 43 at 7p and Channel 27 at 10p.
For some background on the TV production, see the PBS/National Geographic description here. For a useful discussion of the program, including some of its weaknesses, check out the post at John Hawks Weblog.
Update: For other insights on the series and its relation to the book, see Nomadic Thoughts.
